Frasier -- Obama Got Your Tongue?

Give a Democrat a chance to talk politics and you can't get 'em to shut up, but grab a notorious Republican like Kelsey Grammer and well, not so much.
Kelsey Grammer: Click to watch
Dude was suspiciously silent about the election at LAX yesterday -- but he was headed to Florida, a major swing state. We doubt it's a coincidence. He was stumping for McCain later that night at a rally in Coral Gables.

16. You know, as a republican I find it offensive that all the "elite" (or so they think) media put down any celebrity that doesn't fall into their catagory of what is politically acceptable. GO MCCAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

18. No wonder I never liked "Fraiser" If I had known he was a republican I never would have watched it, only did so for funny man David Hyde Pierce. Now the alcholic and drug addict background make sense. Plus everything he has done since Fraser has tanked. Perhaps its the friends he keeps.

19. Why does so much fear-mongering and hate come from Republicans? If you ignore the comments about Grammer himself, the angry, over-generalized negative comments are all directed towards Obama. It's one thing to believe your candidate's policies are better, and be able to explain why, but insulting and slandering their opponents is a disservice to your cause. True, freedom of speech is one of the great things about our country, but it is a sad state of affairs when the best-informed and/or logical statements take a back seat to those who shout loudest, or invoke the strongest emotions (rather than the intellect). How often does Rudy Gulliani speak publicly -without- mentioning 9/11? Anyone who claims that Obama is a Muslim (why would that even be relevant?) shows that they don't follow the news, after the Rev. Wright issue.


9. "...can i go into his home and take all his white hating and terrorist bibles and burn them?...thank you mr black man for giving a bum the opportunity of possibly being my boss!..."

If he's half white, does that mean he hates 50% of himself? Terrorist bibles? Do you have any proof of that? Of course not. Do I even need to point out the veiled racism in the last comment?


13. "With the enforced NEW POLICIES of the DEMOCRATS on the MORTGAGE
INDUSTRY and CORRUPTION of Goverment Runned Fanny Mae , The DECLINE
in the Markets and FINANCIAL CRISIS cam to SURFACE. Not only did the
LEADING DEMOCRATS IMPLEMENT this DESTRUCTIVE POLICY on the MORTGAGE
INDISTRY , but THEY BLOCKED REFORM of FANNY MAE & FREEDY MAC IN 2006.
THE DNC IS RESPONSIBLE/GUILTY FOR THE FINANCIAL MARKET CRISIS
(by the way , the GOP was the Only Anti-slavery political group of that time and remember leaders like george wallace were all democrats)...Socialism is the poltical plan of most hate groups –"

Any sources for those bold statements? Credible, please, so that rules out Fox News.

20. Barack's grandma made the ultimate sacrafice for her grandson.
Dying for the sympathy vote.
That family would do anything to win.

23. Shut the hell up.
TMZ isn't about politics, so stay out of them.
AND...
The only reason TMZ is for Obama is because he isn't against gay marriage. If it was flip flopped McCain would be their pick.
Sad you base your opinion on one stupid issue.

24. RE #11, IS THIS CREEP A TRUE MORON OR DOES HE JUST HAVE AN IQ UNDER 11?

25. I like Grammer as an actor (or did, with Frasier, though I hated the show he did with Patty Heaton), but disagree vehemently with his political views. And Heaton's too; I understand she is a GOPper as well. Sad.

26. I guess they are mad that he isn't left leaning democrat like over 95 percent of Hollywood.

27. Is Kelcey Grammer a Republican? Let's see......a drug addict, an alcoholic, convict, parole violater, accused of rape by his underage babysitter's parents, wrapped his car around a telephone pole while drunk/drugged, sued by his former wives...plus...plus....plus..... Yep, he's a Republican.

Off the bus: From Huntington Post, AMazing
Share Print CommentsJohn McCain and Sarah Palin crisscrossed Ohio over the weekend, appearing at multiple rallies that drew surprisingly small crowds -- especially taking into account the GOP candidates brought with them the star power of 9/11 hero Rudy Giuliani, movie idol Arnold Schwarzenegger, and country music headliner Gretchen Wilson.

On Friday, former New York mayor Giuliani stumped for McCain at a school gymnasium in Hanoverton, a reliably Republican rural community in northeastern Ohio. Speaking to several hundred people, America's 9/11 spokesman told the small crowd that Barack Obama's policies would be "disastrous."

In Columbus the same day, McCain tried to leverage the political wattage of Schwarzenegger, governor of California, to reach out to Ohio independents. But together the two men barely filled half of the same hockey arena that George W. Bush packed with 20,000 people on the eve of his re-election four years ago.

On Sunday morning, vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin spoke in Canton following a warm-up performance by Grammy winner Gretchen Wilson, a popular singer who has had five singles in the Top Ten on the Billboard country charts, including her #1 hit Redneck Woman. Despite the free admission, the crowd at Canton Memorial Fieldhouse in northeastern Ohio was estimated at just 3,000.

On Sunday afternoon, Palin and Wilson teamed up again, this time in southeastern Ohio. The vice-presidential candidate promised the crowd of 5,000 at Marietta College that her ticket "will not let Obama kill the coal industry. Instead, we'll make clean coal a reality."

That evening Palin wore a buckeye necklace threaded through a green jacket when she spoke to a raucous crowd of 3,500 inside an airport hangar at Rickenbacker International Airport in Columbus. By comparison, Barack Obama spoke to a crowd estimated at 60,000 people in Columbus earlier that day. His supporters crowded the west lawn outside the Ohio statehouse, spilling over into the blocked-off streets around the capitol building.

Later on Sunday, Obama spoke to a crowd estimated at 80,000 in Cleveland, where long lines of supporters hoping to see the candidate -- and superstar singer/songwriter Bruce Springsteen -- snaked for blocks around Malls A, B and C in the city's downtown.

On Sunday evening, the Democratic presidential candidate spoke to about 20,000 supporters under the lights in Nippert Stadium at the University of Cincinnati in southwestern Ohio. This was Obama's final stop in the Buckeye State before Election Day.

In north central Ohio, Democratic vice-presidential candidate Joe Biden drew crowds of about 2,000 in Marion and Bowling Green over the weekend. Unpretentious Biden was working as a solo act with no celebrities in tow.

These rallies -- and others like those in Florida today -- demonstrate a significant enthusiasm gap when it comes to the two tickets. Ohio is a must-win for McCain, but it is Obama supporters who are voting convincingly with their feet.
